Key Topics to Revise

1

Inclination and Slope of a Line

  • Inclination is the angle a line makes with positive x-axis measured anticlockwise
  • Inclination always lies between 0° and 180°
  • Slope = tan(inclination angle) = tan θ
2

Equations of Lines Parallel to Axes

  • Lines parallel to x-axis have equation y = b (where b is y-intercept)
  • Lines parallel to y-axis have equation x = a (where a is x-intercept)
  • x-axis itself has equation y = 0
3

Point-Slope Form

  • Used when one point and slope are given
  • Most versatile form for writing line equations
  • Can be derived from basic slope definition
4

Two-Point Form

  • Used when two points on the line are given
  • First find slope, then use point-slope form
  • Can use either point after finding slope
